“This moment will live forever,” said Cyrus of the Tinseltown news
Miley Cyrus is having a phenomenal year.
Following the release of her ninth studio album, the heralded Something Beautiful, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce announced that the Grammy winner would be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. The news is fitting, given that her latest LP features the glitzy track “Walk of Fame.”
In response to the announcement, Cyrus took to social media to reflect on the full circle moment, sharing a memory of her father, Billy Ray Cyrus. “Honored to be receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” wrote the singer. “When I first came to LA from Nashville as a little girl, my family would stay at a hotel on Hollywood Blvd, and I would go on late night walks with my dad when no one would recognize him. We’d have the gift shops to ourselves & buy knock off Oscars and Marilyn Monroe merchandise.”
“To now be cemented on this legendary boulevard, surrounded by the icons who inspired me, feels like a dream,” she continued. “This moment will live forever, thank you to everyone in my life who made it possible. I am grateful to share this star with you.”
Cyrus shared the caption alongside a clip from “Walk of Fame.” The duet features Brittany Howard, while the video for the track is shot on the star-studded Los Angeles sidewalks.
A Rolling Stone review of her new LP praised the ambitious offering. “All over the album, Miley sings about keeping her chin up and looking on the positive side, even in times of trouble,” wrote writer Rob Sheffield. “Something Beautiful is another bold swerve in one of pop’s most delightfully unpredictable careers.”
